Department for Transport

Shipping: Exhaust Emissions

Richard Burden: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what work his Department is carrying out to follow up the International Maritime Organisation summit on shipping emissions in April 2016; and whether the UK will play an active role in the working group established at that summit.

Mr Robert Goodwill: The Department and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency are working closely with other Government departments, as well as the European Commission and European Union and IMO Member States, to reach an agreement on the development of a work plan and timetable to define shipping’s fair share of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The UK is committed to ensuring that the international maritime sector plays its part in achieving a global solution to limit average temperature increases as set out in the Paris Agreement, reached at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, and will play an active role in the working group on this issue as set up at the 69th session of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee in April 2016.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Foreign and Commonwealth Office: EU Law

Mrs Anne Main: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many infraction proceedings the EU has initiated against his Department in each of the last 10 years; what the reasons were for each such proceeding being undertaken; and what the outcome was of each such proceeding.

Mr David Lidington: The information requested is publicly available on the website of the European Commission where the infringement cases for each member state can be found. This includes the infringement and the decision. These records go back to 2002 and can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/atwork/applying-eu-law/infringements-proceedings/infringement_decisions/?lang_code=en

Marine Protected Areas

Oliver Colvile: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to support a UN implementing agreement for the establishment and management of marine protected areas in the high seas.

James Duddridge: The UK supports the need for a new implementing agreement and the need to establish a mechanism to deliver Marine Protected Areas in areas beyond national jurisdiction. This is because whilst a range of different bodies with varying responsibilities address the protection of marine bio-diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, these bodies have sectorally or regionally restricted mandates.The first session of the Preparatory Committee (Prepcom) to develop a new implementing agreement took place at the UN from 28 March to 8 April. The UK was represented by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Defra officials. We will continue to engage on this issue in preparation for the remaining three sessions of the Prepcom.

Marine Protected Areas

Oliver Colvile: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what estimate his Department has made of the number and area of marine protected areas established beyond national jurisdiction through regional seas agreements or other instruments.

James Duddridge: The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is aware of eight Marine Protected Areas that have been established beyond national jurisdiction. One has been designated by the Commission on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources and seven have been designated by the OSPAR Commission in the North-East Atlantic. The UK plays an active role in both of these organisations and is fully supportive of their work to establish networks of Marine Protected Areas in the Antarctic and the North-East Atlantic.

Marine Protected Areas

Oliver Colvile: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what proportion of areas beyond national jurisdiction is covered by (a) regional seas agreements (b) regional fisheries management organisations and (c) other relevant instruments which are legally mandated to establish marine protected areas where the most important environmental impacts are effectively addressed.

James Duddridge: The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not hold details of the proportion of areas beyond national jurisdiction covered by these arrangements. The United Nations Environment Programme has oversight of the 13 Regional Seas programmes. There are also five other “partner programmes” and the UK is a leading member in two of these – the Antarctic Treaty System and the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR Convention). It is also an observer in the Arctic Council.There are six Regional Fisheries Management Organisations which manage highly-migratory species and ten of which manage fish stocks by geographical area. Each Regional Fisheries Management Organisation has its own underpinning international legal agreement with different powers. The UK does not participate in every Regional Fisheries Management Organisation and we do not hold details of each of their powers. In general, Regional Fisheries Management Organisations cannot create Marine Protected Areas, but some do implement fisheries closures to protect Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems.The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources does have the legal power to establish Marine Protected Areas and has designated the South Orkney Marine Protected Area.

Marine Protected Areas

Oliver Colvile: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to (a) promote the protection of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction and (b) ensure that the agreed commitment to establish marine protected areas in 10 per cent of the world's oceans by 2020 is effectively implemented in such areas.

James Duddridge: The UK is fully committed to promoting the protection of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.Without prejudice to Article IV of the Antarctic Treaty 1959, in 2009 the UK led negotiations within the Commission on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources which resulted in the establishment of the world’s first high-seas Marine Protected Area (MPA) covering 94 000 km2. The UK supports the establishment of further MPAs within the area covered by the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, and is working closely with members to designate MPAs in the Ross Sea, East Antarctic and the Weddell Sea.The UK is a leading member of the OSPAR Commission which has designated 7 MPAs in the high seas of the North-East Atlantic and works closely with other regional and international organisations to manage these.We are a signatory to the Hamilton Declaration on Collaboration for the Conservation of the Sargasso Sea 2014, which established the Sargasso Sea Commission to encourage and facilitate voluntary collaboration toward the conservation of the Sargasso Sea.We support the work of the International Seabed Authority in establishing Areas of Particular Environmental Interest in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone. We also support the work of the International Maritime Organisation in identifying “Special Areas” which benefit from additional pollution protection and “Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas” which may benefit from specific measures to control certain maritime activities.

Romania: Travellers

Kate Green: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with the Romanian government on the treatment of the Roma community in that country.

Mr David Lidington: We closely follow the treatment of the Roma Community in Romania. The UK condemns discrimination in all its forms and has on numerous occasions discussed this issue with the Romanian government. The UK was represented at the Romanian Government's Inter-Ministerial Committee responsible for monitoring the National Strategy for Roma Inclusion on 21 March. On 12 April the British Ambassador to Romania issued a public statement regarding discrimination against the Roma community, following acts of vandalism at the National Centre for Roma Culture's tent at the University Square. We continue to urge the Romanian government to take all necessary measures to ensure that all its citizens can fully enjoy their rights.

Antarctica: Fisheries

Catherine West: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to taking to tackle illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in Antarctica.

James Duddridge: The UK is an active member of the Commission on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (the Commission) established under the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. The Commission is an integral part of the Antarctic Treaty System. The Commission has established robust monitoring and enforcement both at sea and through port state controls to eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated activities within the Convention Area.HMS Protector patrols waters within the Convention Area and during 2015 undertook a circumnavigation of Antarctic waters, undertaking the Commission inspections in collaboration with Australian and New Zealand colleagues.The UK undertook unprecedented action against illegal, unreported and unregulated practises during 2015 by tackling individuals and companies who derive economic benefit from illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, going beyond those who are directly engaged in such activities. British insurance companies now undertake checks against regional fisheries bodies’ illegal, unreported and unregulated lists and Interpol databases, before any vessel insurance is agreed.

Antarctica: Fisheries

Catherine West: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many instances of (a) illegal and (b) unregulated fishing have been recorded in Antarctic waters by the UK in each of the last five years.

James Duddridge: Over the last five years the UK has not identified any instances of illegal or unregulated fishing within the Convention Area. This is in part due to the reduction in the global illegal, unreported and unregulated fleet and the stringent measures put in place by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (the Commission). Where other States Parties have identified illegal, unreported and unregulated operations, the UK has worked within the Commission to take steps to combat those activities.

Nigeria: Boko Haram

Mr Ivan Lewis: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of efforts by the Nigerian government to tackle Boko Haram.

James Duddridge: We welcome the successes achieved by the Nigerian armed forces against Boko Haram, which have resulted in the group being pushed out of key towns in North East Nigeria. However, Boko Haram continues to present a serious threat to security in North East Nigeria and the wider region.The United Kingdom is providing a substantial and increasing package of military, intelligence, development and humanitarian support to help Nigeria and the region in the fight against Boko Haram. We support Nigeria’s plans to host a high-level Regional Security Summit in Abuja in May. This will bring together regional leaders and international partners, including the United Kingdom, to reaffirm their shared commitment to the fight against Boko Haram.

Sudan: Human Rights

Mark Durkan: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment the Government has made of human rights in Sudan in the period from 2011 to 2016 in preparation for the Universal Periodic Review at the United Nations Human Rights Council on 4 May 2016.

James Duddridge: Sudan remains a priority country for UK engagement and we have made regular assessments of the human rights situation during this period, as set out in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s annual Human Rights and Democracy reports, available here:https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/human-rights-and-democracy-reports. During the Universal Periodic Review process at the UN Human Rights Council we raised a number of areas of concern including the impact of the ongoing conflicts in Darfur and the Two Areas, the immunity from prosecution provided to the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Service and restrictions on freedom of religion or belief.

Forced Marriage Unit

Naz Shah: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many people made contact with the Forced Marriage Unit in (a) 2013, (b) 2014 and (c) 2015.

James Duddridge: The Forced Marriage Unit is a joint Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Home Office Unit which was set up in January 2005 to lead on the Government's forced marriage policy, outreach and casework. Statistics on the number of enquiries and cases dealt with by the Forced Marriage Unit via its public helpline and email inbox in 2013, 2014 and 2015 are published online here:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/forced-marriage#statistics-on-forced-marriage-collected-by-fmu

Department for International Development

Developing Countries: Older People

Tom Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that comprehensive data is collected on the situation and needs of older people in developing countries.

Mr Nick Hurd: DFID recognises the importance to collect disaggregated data that describes the distinct experiences of people across different stages in their lifecycle. We welcome the agreement of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) on a global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals, which includes clear levels of disaggregation by age for relevant indicators, ensuring that countries are able to plan and monitor the impact for elderly people in order to leave no one behind.We are supporting various programmes to strengthen the capacity of national statistical systems to produce the data that is needed. DFID also recently hosted a multi-stakeholder seminar to raise awareness for the importance of age data disaggregation and to address the technical challenges with age data disaggregation across the lifecycle, and the next steps include developing a DFID data disaggregation action plan.

Department for International Development: Procurement

Patrick Grady: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to encourage micro-enterprise companies with 10 or fewer employees or turnovers of less than two million euros to bid within its procurement system for consultancy contracts.

Mr Nick Hurd: DFID does not classify suppliers at the micro-enterprise level. These companies are included within the SME (small and medium-sized enterprise ) category as defined by the European Commission. In 2015/16 direct spend with SME’s was 32%, and DFID is on track to achieve the Cabinet Office target of 33% SME spend by 2020.

Developing Countries: Sustainable Development

Steven Paterson: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent discussions she has had with the Cabinet Office on a cross-governmental approach to implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Mr Nick Hurd: The Secretary of State for International Development leads on this government’s approach to implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, with support from the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster where appropriate. This will be a cross-government effort with individual Secretaries of State accountable through their single departmental plans. There will be continuous bilateral discussions with individual departments across Government. The Government also intends to produce a report in due course setting out how the UK is contributing to the Global Goals.

Church Commissioners

George Bell

Frank Field: To ask the right hon. Member for Meriden, representing the Church Commissioners, how many people involved in investigating allegations of child abuse made against George Bell consulted his papers and diaries in Lambeth Palace Library in the last three years.

Mrs Caroline Spelman: An error has been identified in the written answer given on 29 February 2016.The correct answer should have been:

In 2013 and 2015 three staff members viewed various sections of the bishop's personal papers held at Lambeth Palace Library on two separate occasions. has no record in the last three years of any of the individuals involved in these investigations making an application to view the papers and diaries of George Bell that are held in the Library.

Ministry of Defence

Ministry of Defence: Security

Mr Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) unauthorised entries to military bases, (b) thefts or losses of classified material, (c) successful cyber attacks on his Department's systems and (d) other security breaches took place in (i) 2014 and (ii) 2015; and what steps his Department took in response to each such breach.

Mark Lancaster: An error has been identified in the written answer given on 29 January 2016.The correct answer should have been:

The numbers of security incidents recorded centrally within the Ministry of Defence in each of the years in question is set out in the table below.

Military Bases: Security

Emily Thornberry: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, at which military bases unauthorised entries were reported in each year from 2014.

Mark Lancaster: An error has been identified in the written answer given on 21 April 2016.The correct answer should have been:

The figures for unauthorised entries to military bases include drones and air balloon flying at low altitude over military sites but do not include failed attempts at authorised access. None of these incidents resulted in any significant ramifications for Defence security.The Ministry of Defence (MOD) treats all unauthorised entries very seriously. They are investigated to a level commensurate with their complexity and impact by Military Police, MOD Police or local constabulary.The locations of security incidents of this category recorded within the Ministry of Defence for 2014 are set out below.Her Majesty's Naval Base (HMNB) PortsmouthHMNB ClydeRoyal Marine (RM) StonehouseArmy Reserve Centre, BristolArmy Reserve Centre, BlackburnArmy Careers Centre, GlasgowRAF HaltonRAF Kirton on LindsayRAF WytonRAF Linton on OuseRAF Brize NortonRAF ScamptonRAF BensonRAF HoningtonRAF MonaRAF LeemingDSTL Porton Down Range AreaWith regard to the locations of security incidents of this category within the MOD for 2015 I refer the hon.

Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Litter

Julian Sturdy: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what timetable is in place for the publication of the new National Litter Strategy.

Rory Stewart: Defra and the Department for Communities and Local Government have started work on a litter strategy to improve the way we all tackle the scourge of litter. We will publish the strategy as soon as we can and a great deal of work will be taken forward in the coming months.

Floods: Insurance

Mr Robin Walker: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the effect of the introduction of Flood Re on people seeking to access affordable flood insurance in areas of high flood risk.

Rory Stewart: Flood Re launched last month, and will ensure people will have access to affordable flood insurance. Flood Re will achieve this by providing reinsurance, with high risk customers having their policies ceded to Flood Re by their insurer. Flood insurance policies ceded to Flood Re have premiums and excesses within set limits based on Council Tax band.As of today, 29 insurers are using Flood Re and it remains important that consumers shop around to obtain the best price. A review of the Flood Re scheme will take place in 2019.

Home Office

Immigration: EEA Nationals

William Wragg: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many EEA nationals have moved to the UK since 1 February 2004 and (a) are now eligible for and (b) have been granted permanent  residency status by virtue of being resident for at least five years.

James Brokenshire: Holding answer received on 28 April 2016



European Economic Area (EEA) nationals have free movement rights in other Member States, but these rights are not unconditional. An EEA national does not gain the right of permanent residence merely by living in the UK; the right is only gained once they have exercised a Treaty right continuously for five years by working, being self-employed, self-sufficient or a student. EEA nationals who are not working or self-employed must have comprehensive sickness insurance and sufficient resources to support themselves and their families to avoid becoming a burden on the social assistance system.EEA nationals with the right of permanent residence may apply for documentation confirming that right. The table below shows the number granted a document certifying permanent residence since 2006, when such documentation was introduced.Grants of Documents certifying permanent residence for European Economic Area nationalsYearDocuments certifying permanent residence - granted20045,26320056,63920065,43620073,97320081,78520096,07420109,491201111,73420128,546201314,52820149,787Source:Immigration Statistics October to December 2015, Home Office, table ee_02.https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/502000/eea-q4-2015-tabs.odsMay include a small number of Croatian nationals in 2013 before their accession to the EU in July of that year.Figures for 2015 will be published on 26th May 2015.

Visas: Russia

Ian Austin: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of the 35 individuals named under the US Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act 2012 have been granted UK visas since the murder of Sergei Magnitsky in 2009.

James Brokenshire: The UK has a long-established practice of not routinely commenting on the details of individual immigration cases.As we have previously made clear, the Magnitsky case remains of serious concern to the UK Government.Wherever we have evidence that individuals were involved in the Magnitsky case that evidence is taken very carefully into account in considering visa applications.

Criminal Records

Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what improvements have been made by the ACRO Criminal Records Office on access to overseas convictions of UK nationals convicted abroad.

James Brokenshire: The UK’s participation in the European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) since 2012 means that EU Member States are now obligated to notify the UK each time a UK national is convicted of a criminal offence in another state.In the last two years, the UK has agreed twelve bilateral agreements with countries outside the EU to improve the exchange of criminal records information (Jamaica, UAE, Anguilla, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos, Antigua and Barbuda, Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and St Kitts and Nevis). The UK also receives conviction information on UK nationals with countries on an ad-hoc basis via Interpol.The Foreign and Commonwealth Office also notifies the ACRO Criminal Records Office when a UK national is subject to criminal proceedings overseas for a serious offence and seeks consular assistance. ACRO have also gained access to the OTRCIS system (Overseas Territory Regional Crime Intelligence System) so that they can now access convictions of British passport holders living in the British Overseas Territories).

Criminal Records

Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many overseas convictions of UK nationals have been recorded on the Police National Computer in the last year for which information is available.

James Brokenshire: The ACRO Criminal Records Office recorded on to the Police National Computer (PNC) conviction notifications of UK nationals convicted (or conviction updated) in the EU and outside the EU for the years specified, as follows:EUFY13/14 -number of notifications added to PNC - 5,797FY 14/15 -number of notifications added to PNC – 8,334FY 15/16 -number of notifications added to PNC – 5,873Non-EUFY13/14 –number of notifications added to PNC - 175FY 14/15 -number of notifications added to PNC – 341FY 15/16 -number of notifications added to PNC – 593

Criminal Records

Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has been made on improving the processes used by the police in relaying the overseas convictions of offenders to prosecutors in court.

Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimates she has made of the proportion of cases in which the previous convictions of a foreign offender were (a) checked by the police and (b) passed on to prosecutors in court in each of the last three years.

James Brokenshire: No figures are held centrally to show the proportion of cases in which previous overseas conviction records of arrested foreign nationals were checked by the police. However, the UK is rolling out nationally a semi-automated process so that when an arrest record is created in a custody suite, an overseas criminal conviction request is prompted. The aim is to ensure that in all cases overseas criminal convictions will be obtained when a foreign national is arrested in the UK.In the last three years (2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16) 39,028, 60,226, and 95,156 requests respectively, were made by the police to EU Member States for previous convictions of foreign nationals under the European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS), an increase of over 140% in that time. In those same years, 19,018, 34,549 and 38,890 requests respectively were made by the police to countries outside the EU for previous convictions of foreign nationals, an increase of over 100% in that time.No figures are held on the numbers of overseas criminal records which are subsequently passed on to the courts. However, to increase the amount of overseas criminal conviction information available to the courts, the Digital First programme, led by the National Police Chiefs Council, is working to improve the information on Digital Case Files to prompt police to ensure that overseas criminal convictions are obtained and passed on to the courts to inform criminal proceedings and sentencing.

Department for Energy and Climate Change

Renewable Energy

Mr Alan Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many households are in receipt of (a) feed-in tariff payments from solar PV installations, (b) domestic renewal heat incentive payments and (c) both such payments.

Andrea Leadsom: By the end of March 2016, there were722,559 households with solar PV benefitting from feed-in-tariff (FIT) payments.45,789 households with installations benefitting from renewable heat incentive (RHI) paymentsThe number of households in receipt of both FIT and RHI payments is not available.

Cabinet Office

UK Membership of EU: Referendums

Karl McCartney: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 21 April 2016 to Question 33531 and of 14 April 2016 to Question 33450, what further government activities are planned to promote the Government's position on the EU Referendum prior to 23 June 2016.

John Penrose: Holding answer received on 04 May 2016



The Government will comply fully with the statutory restrictions that will be in place from 27 May. The Government will continue to set out its position that the UK will be stronger, safer and better off remaining in a reformed EU.
